Primaris White Scar Characters

[SkimaskMohawk]

Here's a recent white scars project that I went all out for due to my pent up desire to paint the scars for a personal army for a while now. I tried to incorporate idiosyncrasies of the chapter, like their (at least 30k) trend to go bare headed and be outdoors, not a lot of silver in metallurgy (also at least in 30k) their enshrining of Chogoris' culture, usage of certain terms, etc... There's a lot of stuff like the top-to-bottom scrip on the seals, the designs on the title shield and the symbol on korsarro's cloak that are either straight mongolian script or very heavily influenced by their writing style. I would have like to have more of the red markings the scars are known for, but I was asked to have black feature as a secondary so I couldn't add too much. I might have to split the pictures depending on the limit.

Thanks! I also now realize I never uploaded the rest of the pictures lol.

So the missing pictures are of the chaplains. I tried to keep them uniformly separate from the other models with some heavily bronze-decorated armour, while still tying them in with some red accent parts and the gold that was reserved for the indomitus details and skull trophies. After taking forever to paint the khans face, it only took me about 10 minutes for the chaplain's, which rather surprised me.

Awesome battle damage and dust / rust effect on your white armor. Inspiring.

Thanks! The chipping is just dryad bark, and the build up in the cracks can be done with watered down rhinox hide if you want to avoid enamels. I used rhinox a lot to touch up where I'd gone over the brown too much previously.

Good job on the Chaplains.
